00:00Yeah, so guess what was the very first thing that you done?
00:04Um, so I actually helped with locking it down, so it was already primed, so I popped it down and I sanded it.
00:10So I had it, um, like a good part, like all the grease taken off and everything like that.
00:14So yeah, rubbed it down, um, got it already, um, sort of, like any pin holes and all that sort of stuff.
00:20And then, yeah, tweaked it a bit and then started working on it.
00:23Yeah, and how long did you end up working on it for?
00:26Um, so over about two months, like, because I only do tape like three days, um, every month.
00:32So yeah, over two to three months.
00:34Yeah.
00:35Just popped it in a little bit every time I was on tape.
00:37Yeah.
00:38And did you have a bit of a plan as to what they wanted you to do or did you get to do any, like, creatives?
00:43Um, no, I just followed the plan as to what they'd already decided they wanted done.
00:47Yeah.
00:48Um, so, yeah.
00:49Yeah, is this the first time you had, like, such a hands-on project like this, or?
00:54Um, at TAPE, yes, definitely.
00:56Yeah.
00:57So, yeah, very much my own little project, which was really cool and a good experience, so, yeah.
01:01Yeah.
